They all went to a group of lemon sharks.
Then, they heard a huge growl.
They all saw a really big one.
Phyto recognized it, "The King of the Lemon Sharks, greatest of them all."
It then pushed another shark out of the way.
"And also, the meanest."
Trollex said, "Legend says the sweets it releases are so sweet, they can let loose sparkles in your mouth."
Varuna then said, "But alas, no one would dare get close enough to even touch it, let alone rub it."
So, everyone just started to rub other lemon sharks.
DJ held back for a bit.
Smidge noticed, "DJ, aren't you coming?"
DJ said, "I felt like I blew it with Phyto and Varuna. I sounded so weird. How do I make it up now?"
Guy said, "You know, you could just go shark hunting and grab some really sweet treats. What do you say?"
DJ thought for a sec, then shouted, "Let's have ourselves a good rub-down!"
However, whenever she tried to find a shark, it would be taken by someone else.
The first one, Poppy caught, "Lemon drops!"
Then, Smidge, "Lemon bars!"
Then, Biggie, "Lemonade!"
Then, Trollex, "Lemon tarts!"
DJ was about to give up...until she saw the Lemon Shark King.
She felt like it could be her only shot at impressing Trollex's parents.
So, she started to sneak up on it.

When it was night, everyone gathered to share their treats.
Trollex said, "You've heard the saying 'When life gives you lemons, make lemonade'? Well, they should change it to 'When life gives you Lemon Sharks, make a Lemon Fest'."
Everyone shared a chuckle as they all shared each others treats.
But, the most interesting one was DJ's.
She said, "Well, I did it. Got you all some rare treats...from the King."
Trollex was surprised, "What?"
Everyone was in awe and immediately bit into them.
They could all feel the sparkles loose in their mouths.
Smidge said, "I've never tasted anything so zesty in all my life!"
Poppy said, "DJ, this is amazing!"
Even Branch said, "I don't think I'll ever taste anything sweeter."
Although, Queen Varuna was a little suspicious, "Hm. A first-timer rubbed the un-rubbable shark? How?"
DJ went, "Uh..."
***
DJ tried to sneak up on the Lemon Shark King.
"Gotcha."
But, she accidentally dropped her cloth.
Her frantically trying to catch it caught the King's attention.
She tried to swim away, but ran into a rock.
She groaned in pain.
The king laughed at her, but that got him to rub himself on the ground hysterically and release some treats.
***
DJ just said, "It'd be rude for me to brag."
Poppy said, "Come on, you've gotta tell us how you did it."
Phyto said, "Yes, DJ. Tell us how you rubbed the king."
Trollex said, "Yeah, tell us, DJ."
DJ felt to impress Trollex's parents, she had to lie, "Well, you see...all I had to do was...wait until it slept! You know, when it can't see us coming?"
Everyone was in awe.
Just then, they saw the king sleeping close by.
Phyto then shouted quietly, "Who wants to see her do it again?"
Everyone was excited, but DJ was frantic.
